I'm on a Shelf

by Abdelrahman Kamel
I'm on a shelf, that accommodates thousands like me 

What lies before the eyes are covers of what humans might be 

When I look at them walking here of there 

I see showdows that hardy have a moment to spare 

When someone picks me up I feel as a child of their own while covers of others shine out of misery.

When someone reads me I feel as if I'm more than a story

More than a sad dusty neglected story  on a shelf of empty recyclable books with endless boogers and marks of sneezing. I feel as if the luck of opening my cover and unleashing the work of art that was created by my writer is the reason why i like sitting of that old shelf after all. There is nothing more powerful than the love that transcends other difficult times. at at the end of the day I'm glad that I'm a paperback script on a shelf
